How do brain circuits evolve? We started looking for some answers by using synapse-resolution cross-species comparative connectomics on an entire olfactory circuit 👇

Excited to be at Diamond Light Synchrotron imaging droso samples with @maikekittelmann.bsky.social. Experiencing a few bugs 🥁 but the tech teams and facilities here are incredible.

Sleep and Circadian Rhythm enthusiasts at University of Bristol please follow @uobscrh.bsky.social for hub updates and upcoming event info. Regarding social media preferences, it turns out you didn't opt for c) "I don't give a rats arse", so we made the switch to blue sky.

Really successful mini-conference for Sleep and Circadian Rhythms Hub (Bristol Neuroscience). Lots of good talks and mingling 😊. Stay tuned for v2 next year, with
@aliceisnotfren1.bsky.social we are determined to do it again!

Thanks @jasonrihel.bsky.social for a wonderful keynote talk 🐟 💤

Amidst all the terrible things, it's nice to have some good news - our paper on the architecture of fly taste circuits is published now! Led by Emory undergrad Sydney Walker and grad student Marco Peña Garcia.
